We expect our vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely,
The impact on us, admittedly, is going to be greater than the impact on the United States, ... You add a 25% tariff on most of that … and it’s going to immediately have an impact in terms of reducing or eliminating gross, possibly sending the economy into a recession.”
If US consumers are not buying as much product produced in Mexico, then eventually, that could result in job losses for Mexico,
This is going to be tough.”
If it’s a 25% tariff, that’s far bigger than profit. So, at a certain point, very quickly, unless you can pass those costs along to consumers, ultimately, it’s not profitable to continue to produce,
If this issue of tariffs is consolidated, an important evaluation of the geographic diversification of the Mexican economy must be made,
Tariffs create ripple effects that move through complex supply chains in ways that aren't always obvious,

From a technical standpoint, the imposition of the tariffs is basically a light switch. They're on or they're off,

Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered,
We collaborate to avoid illegal drug trafficking to the United States, but as we have said on multiple occasions, that country's government must take responsibility, too, for the crisis of opioid consumption that has caused so many deaths in the United States,
There is no motive or reason, nor justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nations,
If the U.S. has other intentions and is committed to waging a tariff war, trade war, or any other kind of war, China will respond in kind, ... to abandon its bullying tactics and return to the necessary track of dialogue and cooperation at an early date."
It's going to be an absolute disaster for both countries,
